What is an Apex Domain?

Back to learning

Apex Domain, also known as the root domain, is the highest hierarchical level in a domain name, such as example.com. Traditionally, DNS faced limitations with CNAME records at the apex level due to conflicts with other necessary records like NS and SOA. Understanding the apex domain concept is essential in DNS management, especially for services like CDNs and load balancing strategies.
